Suggest Treatment For Lower Back Pain, Knee Pain And Pelvic Pain

I have had extreme lower back pain that seems to be on my right hip on my pelvic bone. It hurts when I drive, walk, I can not sit for long periods of time. The pain sometimes goes down to my right knee and I am scheduled to see a Doctor in December. I can not continue with this pain for long.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to sciatica. This type of pain emerges from lumbar spine and radiate to lower extremity. A physical examination by orthopedician will be helpful to rule out this. X ray of lumbo sacral spine followed by MRI will be required to confirm this. For such condition in my patients I would recommend NSAIDs like aceclofenac, muscle relaxants like tizanidine and neurotropic drugs like pregabalin and methylcobalamin. I also send them to physiotherapist for physiotherapy like TENS and muscle strengthening exercises. Wearing lumbar supporting belt also will be helpful for this. Avoid lifting heavy weights and bending down.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
